Quickstart
Call gemini-2.5-flash-lite with a POST to /v1/chat/completions on https://api.oxyy.ai, using your Oxyy API key from the OXYY_API_KEY environment variable. The same key works for every model in the catalog.
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.oxyy.ai/v1",
api_key=os.environ["OXYY_API_KEY"],
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gemini-2.5-flash-lite",
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain unified AI APIs in one sentence."},
],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)Performance
Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better). Throughput and TTFT are measured on streaming requests, which are the only ones with a first-token moment to time.

Activity
Token volume and request traffic to this model over time. Daily totals, UTC.
Prompt tokens measure input size. Reasoning tokens show internal thinking before a response. They are part of the output, so the completion bars show the rest of it and each day’s bar is its total.
